MONDAY

>> You may not be able to pronounce their name, but !!! (chk, chk, chk)’s disco enfused indie pop will leave you speechless. The former band members from The Yah Mos, Black Liquorice and Popesmashers are on tour promoting their recent release Myth Takes. Catch them at the 9:30 Club tonight with Canadian experimental rockers, Holy Fuck. $18.

TUESDAY

>> Velvet Revolver kicked off their Re-evolution tour on May 3rd the same way they began, with a fundraiser. The proceeds from the first show in support of the upcoming sophomore release, Libertad, will help families cope with those lost to addiction. Tuesday night they’ll be in D.C. playing a sold out show at the 9:30 Club with The Actual.

>> Japan’s instrumental brooders Mono are…out there, but in a good way. A review of their album Walking Cloud and Deep Red Sky, Flag Fluttered and the Sun Shined claims that “in the space of eight songs and 58 minutes [it] swells beyond the confines of a rock quartet to become a lush full-flavored orchestra of sound and emotion.” So if the trippy ambient scene is your thing, head down to the Rock and Roll Hotel and catch them with Grails and World’s End Girlfriend. $10/$12, 8 p.m. doors.

>> Azerbaijan, an oil-rich country that lies between the Caspian Sea, Russia, Georgia, Armenia and Iran has still not resolved its territorial disputes with Armenia. As a benefit for Azerbaijanian kids living in refugee camps, Imamyar Hasanov (on kamancha/spiked fiddle), Rufat Hasanov (on tar/lute) and Pejman Hadadi (on percussion) will perform an evening of traditional mugham music at Lisner Auditorium. Sound samples suggest it is not easy listening — expect high-pitched Middle Eastern and Asian stringwork overtop far from simple beats.
